“Os tecidos da capulana”: narrativas e imagens entre el cuidado y las afecciones

Resumen

It was a beautiful and intense day! It started with a sunny and joyful morning, when we left the Student House, in Maputo and went into the Bairro Patrice Lumumba, in Matola, with many expectations. We knew we wanted to talk to women who tie their children to capulanas, but we didn't know where or how! We had to offer water and enthusiasm, questions and clicks. The choice for the neighborhood came randomly. We found a tree-lined square, we got a tire and a chair to borrow from local vendors. Mateus with his smile and his camera, Hélder with her Mozambicanity and her changana, Vera with her femininity and empathy. Thus, we tried to establish contact with young women who were passing through the streets.
